Dona had taken Shenna to his favourite Salon to give him a hair cut. I went to pick them up. I joked to him, ' oh, but your looks still so long, okey, lets go home, I will give you another hair cut'. With a slight hint of smile, he said, ' waiting for so long for you to come, it became long'.
Yes, they were wating for me for an hour to be picked up!
He is now four and half year old. We are now in Manila.
Shanghai night
I was never consider the option of living in China till I visited Shanghai.
I stayed in China for a very short period of 13-15th Feb, yet my respect for China went up tremendously. I now know they are well on thier way to become a giant Aisna force to recon with and there's no one except Japan who could take on the world on economic aspects of life and as such on the polical level.
Shanghai didnt look an iota like any typical Asian cities like Mumbai, Jakarta, Colombo, Bangkok, all that I have seen and lived to different extent. Shaghai had got the gait of a youthful beaty having a lot of respect for herself and faith in future. Its confident city, on the way to fiind its place on the sun.
I met some of the chinese collgues and it became very clear that these were the people who work hard and knows their job. Sincere people, hungry for result and proud of what they do. And people are very hard working. The temperature was around 10 deg C and it was drizzling accompnaied by rai, that evening. I was walking around the roads enjoying the fragrance of the city I was visitng for the first time but the chill outside made me return to the hotel. Even at 12 in the night, I could see people on bikes going about their business. The city sleeps very late.
The signs of modern time interms of Mcdonald, KFC and giant sized malls were all there.
My collegues took me to dinner and asked if I would like to have frog or snake. I, off course, denied, not very politely. They laughed.
Next time, if I go to a Cinese restaurant, I will defintely order Seasome sweet dumpling as desert, it was unbelievably, mysteriously delicious.
Im now open to the idea that someday I might like to go there for working there for couple of years. As a english teacher, prinx also can expect to make some good money.

Bengali comunity in Manila
Since we came to Manila August, last year, we kept on hearing that there is a very close knit Bengali community in Manila and was keep to get into that circle as they were suppossed to have frequent get togethers and also were known to celebrate different festival.
Amit Ray, whom I first met in his blog site introduced to Nirlamda through an email. Next two month nothing happened as I guess lot of the people were on holidays and thus travelling.
Suddenly got a mail from him inviting us to his home last satuday. The mails were gentle and very welcoming. We wnt there andd it was such a pleasant surprise to meet such a perfect gentleman and his family. We not for once felt that it was the first time we were meeting them. Their warth, hospitality and gentleness made us feel very much at home in their beautiful house.
Shrihhan played with an unclee, he found there.
There were others also. It was an enjoyable evening.
Just as reminder that everything cannt be perfect, there was another bengali family, whose snobishness was something we could do without.
So if you are new in Manila, just let me know if you need help from us.
